The Commission may approve the reservation of water for up to 20 years. Prior to termination of the approved term of reservation, the applicant may apply for a time extension of up to 20 years. The proposed time extension shall be subject to all rule requirements and standards governing review of initial reservations. An approved time extension shall retain the priority date of the original reservation. The Commission also may require review of a reservation at specified time intervals during the approved reservation time period. For the purpose of that review, the Commission may require the applicant to provide evidence that the purpose, intent, and amount of the reservation still meet the public interest standards of OAR 690, division 11.
